SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,022, dated July 15,1884. Appncathn ined February 23, i884. (Nmoaei.)

To a/ZZ whom it' may concern,..-

Beit known that I, J oHN M. PECK, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented anew Improvement in Basin Faucets; and I do hereby ldeclare the following, when taken 'in con` nection withaccompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon; to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, andrepresent, in-

Figure 1, a side view of the faucet complete; Fig. 2, a vertical section through the base portion, and showing the connection of the faucet with the base; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the ornamental section detached; Fig. v'4, a

This invention relates to an improvement wash-basins and for like purposes,"con1monly called basin-faucets,7 the object of the invention being to make the faucet more highly ornamental than in the usual solid metal faucet by combining 'with the metal a section or sections of pottery or other material presenting an ornamental surface other than metal.

A represents the base, through which the water-way B opens, and. from which a tubular extension, O, rises to. continue the waterway upward to the valve or plug section D. The section D is constructedwith a downward projection, E, screw-threaded to enterr and fit a corresponding serew'jin the tubular eXtension O. y y

On the top of the base A, and around the tubular extension C, a concentric channel, a, is formed, into which a section, F, of pottery, glass, or .other non-metallic material, isset. This section F istubular, so as to pass on over the tubular extension O and its lower end, so as to `fit in the channel a, and is shorter than the tubular extension. The upper outer end of the tubular extension is screw-threaded, as

at b, and onto this screw-threaded end of the tubular extension a collar, G, correspondingly screw-threaded, is set, and soas to fit down upon the upper end of the section F, and preferably sovas to overhang that upperfend, as at d, and thus hold the section F down upon the base, the joint-at the top and bottom being covered bythe recess in the collar Gand in the base. The faucet is' screwed down to place, so as to bring the section D upon the l top'of the collar G, as seen in Fig. 2, the joint between the screw E and the tubular extension C packed in the usual manner to make a watertight joint. The remainder of the faucet is of the u'sual or common construction, as seen in-Fig. l. By this construction I am enabled to introduce highly-,ornamental sections lof pottery and like material into the-parts of the faucet, adding greatly to its beauty, and

without detracting from its efficient working.

i The tubular extension O leaves the same water-passage as if the base extended in one piece up to its upper end, where the faucet is attached. The packing of the joint isY made in the usual manner, and therefore the introduction of the ornamental section F in noway interferes with the working or durability of the faucet.

Instead of making the collar G as a piece separate from the section D, it may be made as a part of ythat section, as seen in Fig. 4, the section being recessed upon its under side, so as to form.' the screw-section E, and also so that the projectimgy portion will set down over or upon the upper end of the ornamental section F. In this case the single screw-thread of the part E is sufficient yto bind the parts together. l

1. Afaucet having the base A constructed with Aa tubular extension, O, and so as to-forrn a seat on` the basearound said extension, the ornamentalsection'F, tted 4to rest upon the base around said t'ubular extension, the faucet constructed to connect with said tubular extension, and a collar, G, arranged to bear upon saidsection F, and whereby said section F is held in place, substantially asvdcscribed'.

2. The base A, constructed with a tubular extension, C, and with a concentric channel, a, around said tubular extension, the orna mental section F, surrounding said tubular extension and resting at the bottom in said channel a, a collar, G, recessed upon its under side to s et over the upper end of said section F, and a faucet constructed to engage with said tubular extension, substantially as described.
